Coach Talk

Shane's Swell Team
A big key to success in football is creating mismatches. We not only doubled up Herb Utsmells at RB (52.7 points to 25.4), we also tripled them at WR (20.4 to 6.1).
Herb Utsmells
It's entirely possible that Herb Utsmells could be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing only seven targets as a group in Week 15, their two wide receivers apparently helped their teams' causes by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
